Kevin BeaumontMy take on this one, specifically limiting terms like Palestine by MS is lame.
Kevin BeaumontThe most depressing thing about the TikTok videos of Microsoft employees protesting about the company’s involvement in supporting genocide is their colleagues, sat around them, laugh and tut at the colleagues protesting.
stony kark@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social I never worked for MS but this was my general experience working in tech, too. World events would happen and the attitude was that it sucked, but was someone else’s problem and thus it’s not worth worrying about. I never worked with or for anyone who would directly participate in genocide (as far as I could tell at the time) either, mostly small businesses.
